forget VP, How is Palin even qualified to be governor

[gabeana]

what were the Alaskan's thinking, but I can't say much I come from a state that has elected 2 actors for governor

[DJ13]

1. what were the Alaskan's thinking

It was between her, a sled dog with mange, and a tired old moose.

She won by default.

(Though I hear Alaskans are thinking the sled dog should have won...)

3. LOL!

:rofl:

[Kittycat]

2. I doubt highly she'll survive a re-election.

It's clear the women is in over her head. Not even there 2 years, and she's in the middle of an abuse of power scandal.

5. 80% approval rating

Don't understand your logic.

6. 80% approval rating

Don't understand your logic.

[gabeana]

7. her rating is still high but it is not 80

more like 65%

[gabeana]

9. Here is a link

Her approval ratings are high--65 percent, or so--but down from 80 percent earlier in her term. Most Alaskan's haven't watched her as closely as most reporters or legislators. If you took a poll of reporters and legislators I expect her approval rating would be down in the teens or twenties.

11. Fail - 65% and dropping.

Welcome to DU. Boring night at FR? I'm sure it's like a funeral right now.

4. I remember reading about her when she was running for Gov......

and a lot of people were asking that same question.

8. Her name isn't Murkowski?

The bar is pretty low in Alaskan politics, what with all the corruption and scandal they've had in recent years.

10. the last governor was so corrupt he had a 14% approval- and don't forget she's hawt

Isn't the population in Alaska about 70 % male?
